Yarm

Set within a loop of the River Tees, Yarm was a prosperous river port as far back as the 14th century. Its broad main street, one of the widest in England, is lined with some fine Georgian houses and coaching inns, but the bustling river traffic has gone. Standing in the centre of this elegant street is the Town Hall of 1710 with marks on its walls recording the levels of past river floods, but the town’s most impressive structure is the railway viaduct with its 40 arches soaring above the rooftops and extending for almost half a mile. It was at a meeting in Yarm’s George & Dragon Hotel in 1820 that plans were drawn up for the Stockton & Darlington Railway, the first of all passenger-carrying railways.
